Book excerpt: One of the Best Books of 2022 NPR * Them * Lit Hub * CrimeReads * Book Riot * Chicago Review of Books "A one-of-a-kind queer horror comedy for people who watch The Bachelor and The X-Files back-to-back." --Kirkus Reviews On this season of The Catch, contestants must compete for love. And their lives. When the final four women in competition for an aloof, somewhat sleazy bachelor's heart arrive on a mysterious island in the Pacific Northwest, they prepare themselves for another week of extreme sleep deprivation, invasive interviews, and, of course, the salacious drama eager viewers nationwide tune in to devour. Each woman came on The Catch for her own reasons--brand sponsorships, followers, and, yes, even love--and they've all got their eyes steadfastly trained on their respective prizes. Enter Patricia, a temperamental and woefully misunderstood local living alone in the dark, verdant woods, and desperate for connection. Through twists as unexpected as they are wildly entertaining, the self-absorbed cast and jaded crew each make her acquaintance atop the island's tallest and most desolate peak, finding themselves at the center of an action-packed thriller that is far from scripted--and only a few will make the final cut. A whirlwind romp careening toward a last-girl-standing conclusion, and a scathing indictment of contemporary American media culture, Patricia Wants to Cuddle is also a love story: between star-crossed lesbians who rise above their intolerant town, a deeply ambivalent woman and her budding self-actualization, and a group of misfit islanders forging community against all odds.

She knows she’ll never fall in love, but she enjoys running an Instagram account that offers relationship advice to students at her school. No one except her roommate can know that she’s behind the incredibly popular “Dear Wendy” account. When Joanna “Jo” Ephron (also a first-year student and aroace) created their “Sincerely Wanda” account, it wasn’t at all meant to take off or be taken seriously. But now they might have a rivalry of sorts with Wendy’s account? Oops. As if Jo’s not busy enough having existential crises over gender identity, whether she’ll ever truly be loved, and the possibility of her few friends finding The One then forgetting her! While tensions are rising online, Sophie and Jo grow closer in real life, especially once they realize their shared aroace identity. Will their friendship survive if they learn just who’s behind the Wendy and Wanda accounts?
Download or read book Leadership by Values written by Ramesh Subramanian, Ramakrishnan Ramiah and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A synopsis of real-life examples of Leadership values and how these are practised by great leaders. Quite demanding and scientific in its nature, still very well supported by examples, for professionals who aspire to live a life driven by values and deepen their knowledge on the subject.’ Thiresia-Maria Venetsanou, Sales Transformation Consultant for Vodafone Partner Markets| Organization Development Consultant | Executive Coach | Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Master Practitioner A brilliant compilation of eastern and western values for leadership and management. The need for naïve optimism and empathy for a healthy society is vividly narrated in this must-read book. Professor Mahesh Hariharan at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram, Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry Many a book has been written on Leadership but this book “Leadership by Values….” written by Ramesh & Ramakrishnan stands out with its continuous emphasis on Values and the way they have established through the “CIPE” framework how a persistent adherence to Values succeeds in the long haul. Viren Sinha Former Chairman & Managing Director Balmer Lawrie & Co Ltd “Written from the heart, lifelong-learners Ramesh Subramanian & Ramakrishnan Ramiah, explore the importance of values-based leadership to help people grow, develop and create a better future. Their story is illustrated with numerous compelling examples of values at play in the workplace.” Katherine Farnon, Executive Leader, Professional Coach & Mentor The eternal hug of the ever-optimistic Leader, to his Values is what is being de-constructed in the book. The book delves into the mind of a Leader, the interplay that happens in his amygdala, hijacked perpetually when it comes to Values. Leadership is all about being here and now, experiencing it. There is no better way to transmit than walking the talk on Values. A quick read indeed should come in handy in understanding Leadership and Values, in right earnest. Here is a toast to the Leader in all of us, let us pledge together to make this world a better place.
Download or read book Self and Story in Early Childhood written by Hugh Crago and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our children grow up into a world of stories—in books, on screens—but what do they make of the stories we offer them? What do they think and feel as they listen to a parent read a picture-book? What if a story confuses or upsets them? Over the past fifty years, several intelligent, committed mothers undertook the onerous task of recording exactly what their children said and did in response to the stories they shared. Some of their records extended over five years, or even longer. Their research, done without funding or academic supervision, offers us unparalleled insight into children’s minds long before they learn to speak—let alone learn to read. In Self and Story in Early Childhood, Hugh Crago draws on his unusual combination of expertise in literary studies, developmental psychology and psychotherapy to re-examine the startling implications of this neglected body of evidence. He highlights how much children can achieve without formal teaching, but with the supportive presence of a trusted adult who will participate with them in the story experience. This book will be of great interest to scholars of developmental psychology, early literacy and narratology, as well as to professionals working with preschoolers. Most of all, it will fascinate parents who themselves share stories with their child.

Download or read book Hugging the Shore written by John Updike and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD “Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea,” writes John Updike in his Foreword to this collection of literary considerations. But the sailor doth protest too much: This collection begins somewhere near deep water, with a flotilla of short fiction, humor pieces, and personal essays, and even the least of the reviews here—those that “come about and draw even closer to the land with another nine-point quotation”—are distinguished by a novelist’s style, insight, and accuracy, not just surface sparkle. Indeed, as James Atlas commented, the most substantial critical articles, on Melville, Hawthorne, and Whitman, go out as far as Updike’s fiction: They are “the sort of ambitious scholarly reappraisal not seen in this country since the death of Edmund Wilson.” With Hugging the Shore, Michiko Kakutani wrote, Updike established himself “as a major and enduring critical voice; indeed, as the pre-eminent critic of his generation.”
